Red Card
HE'S OFF: Yep, the referee had no option. N'Zogbia is given his marching orders

76

ALL HAPPENING: Wilshere goes down after an off-the-ball incident with N’Zogbia. It looks like the Frenchman head butted him there

75

Substitution
WIGAN CHANGE: Figueroa on for Stam

75

FINE SAVE FROM FABIANSKI: N’Zogbia breaks clear on the right and gets into the area before stinging the palms of the goalkeeper who stood up well

74

Yellow Card
FIRST BOOKING OF THE NIGHT: Chamakh is brought down by Caldwell on half way and he can have no complaints there.

73

72

Substitution
WIGAN CHANGE: McArthur on for Diame

71

HUGE CHANCE FOR ARSHAVIN: Wilshere plays a great ball through to the Russian who tires to lift the ball over Al Habsi with his left foot. The goalkeeper makes himself big and produces a very good save

70

WEAK EFFORT: But Rodallega hits it and it trickles into the arms of Fabianski

69

N’ZOGBIA LINING IT UP…

68

CHAMAKH BRINGS DOWN WATSON: 30 yards from goal in a possible shooting position?

67

ARSENAL FANS IN FULL VOICE: The away supporters are making themselves heard

66

CHANGES IMMINENT? Djourou, Nasri and Walcott warm up on the near touchline

65

ARSENAL WITH A FOOT ON THE BALL: Good possession from the Gunners

63

BEST CHANCE OF THE HALF: Sagna slips as he tries to clear and the ball falls to Cleverley on the left of the area. He takes one touch before firing just over Fabianski’s bar

62

ALCARAZ MAKES A STRONG TACKLE: On Arshavin and Wigan win the ball back after Arsenal looked to break

61

N’ZOGBIA THREATENING: Stam does well on the right and beats three Arsenal players before finding N’Zogbia in the area. His touch is too heavy and Koscielny clears

60

58

CHAMAKH SHOULD DO BETTER: From that corner he finds space and from six yards heads inches wide of the right post

57

WILSHERE BURTS INTO THE AREA: He runs at Alcaraz who makes a good challenge but it only goes as far Rosicky. He crosses towards the near post and Alcaraz is forced to head behind his own goal for a corner

56

SLOW TEMPO TO THE GAME: Arsenal seem content to let Wigan have the ball when they have it

54

SAGNA JUST CAN’T KEEP IT IN: A really clever ball from Rosicky almost releases the full back down the right but there’s just a bit too much on it

53

‘SAMIR NAS-A-RI’: The away fans sing his name as he warms up in front of them

52

AS I SAY THAT: Squillaci is forced to hack clear with Diame bearing down on goal. Good defending from the Frenchman

51

NO CHANCES OF REAL NOTE: As of yet in the second half. Both sides are playing football well inside their own halves

50

WATSON FELLS DENILSON: In the centre circle and Arsenal win a free kick

49

WIGAN NOT REALLY GOING ANYWHERE: They are seeing more of the ball but whenever they get near the Arsenal penalty area the Gunners look comfortable

48

CHAMAKH CAN’T HOLD IT UP: He is swarmed off the ball by three Wigan defenders

47

WIGAN WITH THE BALL EARLY ON: But they aren’t threatening

46

AS YOU WERE: No changes for Arsenal, or Wigan for that matter

Kick Off
The second half is underway…

Half Time
There goes the half-time whistle. Arsenal lead 2-1 at the break...

44

FABIANKSI CALLED INTO ACTION: Rodallega takes a shot and the 'keeper makes a smart save

43

Arshavin plays the ball to Bendtner who bustles his way through a few challenges on the edge of the area before calmly slotting the ball past Al Habsi and into the bottom-right corner

OBVIOUS CONFIDENCE: That goal has given the Arsenal players real belief and they look most likely to go ahead now

38

Chamakh plays a great dink over the top to Bendtner who fires low to Al Habsi’s right. The goalkeeper can only parry to the Russian on the penalty spot and he smacks the ball back past him and the man on the line

WATSON ALMOST BREAKS CLEAR: The midfielder makes a great run from midfield and Fabianski has to be quick off his line to rebuff the danger after a great ball over the top

34

WIGAN ATTACKING: Sagna is forced to make a good covering clearance with his left foot and eventually Rodallega is caught offside

33

Richard Clarke: ‘There is a strange feeling around the ground tonight’

32

31

WIGAN KEEPING THE BALL: They are finding each other well and Arsenal are struggling to get near the ball to be honest

30

MAYHEM: Tackles flying in everywhere. One from Wilshere and then one from Sagna. That has really got the Wigan fans up

29

FINALLY: The game continues with Arsenal possession

27

Substitution
DESPARATELY UNLUCKY: Off goes Diaby and on comes Wilshere in his place.

27

HE LIMPS OFF: I’m not sure if he will be OK to continue, and neither is his manager

26

THOMAS IN THE WARS: He goes in for a 50-50 with Rosicky and takes an unintentional whack on the head. He looks in a lot of pain and the game is stopped for a good two minutes…

24

WILSHERE STRIPPING OFF: I didn’t see anything happen to Diaby but it looks like that’s his troublesome ankle again

23

DIABY STRUGGLING: He’s hobbling about and it looks like Wilshere is coming on…

22

OH, UNLUCKY: The corner comes out to Rosicky on the edge of the area who fires at Al Habsi who can only parry into a dangerous position. Koscielny does his best to prod it goalwards by the goalkeeper does enough to fall on the ball

21

ARSENAL PRESSURE: The Gunners attack and win a corner on the left

20

ANOTHER HUGE PENALTY SHOUT: And again it’s for the home side. A mix up between Fabianski and Koscielny almost presents a chance for Rodallega. The defender knocks the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper who then brings down the striker. I’ve seen those given but the first one was VERY harsh

19

17

GOAL! - Ben Watson
1 : 0
Ben Watson scores...Fabianski goes the right way but that was a good penalty to the 'keeper's right

16

PENALTY TO WIGAN: N’Zogbia is brought down inside the area by Koscielny, that looked very harsh. He hardly touched him…

15

WIAGN THREATENING: Squillaci does well to read a through ball and block Diame and then N’Zogbia can’t do anything when the ball comes to him

13

BENDTNER POPS UP ON THE LEFT: He seems to be floating all over the place at the moment

12

HUGE DEFLECTION: Bendtner takes it and it hits, of all people, his strike partner Chamakh. The referee gives a corner, but it comes to nothing.

11

BENDTNER HACKED DOWN: The Dane turns really well on the edge of the area and forces Caldwell to bring him down. Free kick in a VERY dangerous central position…

10

DIABY AND DENILSON: The pair are breaking everything up that’s going through the middle

9

N’ZOGBIA HAS A GO: From miles out though, and Fabianski makes a comfortable save

8

A BIT OF CALM: After Wigan’s lively start, Arsenal are getting their foot on the ball and the tempo is dropping

6

TACTCIS: Right, Bendtner seems to be playing slightly from the right with Chamakh more central. Diaby, Rosicky and Denilson the central three in midfield

5

ARSHAVIN FIRES JUST OVER: He finds space on the left and after good control with his chest, smacks an effort over the bar

4

VITAL FROM KOSCIELNY: Squillaci gets caught in possession by Rodallega who runs at Koscielny who times his tackle immaculately to disposes his opponent on the egde of the area

2

OH WHAT A CHANCE FOR RODALLEGA: The striker has a free header from barely eight yards but completely fluffs his lines and the ball runs harmlessly wide

1

N’ZOGBIA WITH A LIVELY START: Wigan begin the game on the front foot with their French winger running down the right and crossing into a very dangerous position. But luckily for Arsenal no-one in an Wigan shirt was on hand to capitalise

Kick Off
And we're underway....

The players are out and we're nearly ready to go. The usual handshakes and hugs from the Arsenal players who look up for this!

Kick-off is now only five minutes away...

All change then! With less than 48 hours to prepare for the game that's hardly surprising and, let's be honest, Chamakh, Arshavin, Rosicky and Co. mean it's still a VERY strong Arsenal side.

Into midfield come Denilson, Andrey Arshavin, Tomas Rosicky and Abou Diaby who makes his first Premier League start since October 16.

Sebastien Squillaci comes in for Johan Djourou at centre half with Lukasz Fabianski, Bacary Sagna and Laurent Koscielny the only three to keep their place in the side.

So Arsène Wenger makes eight changes from the side that beat Chelsea for tonight’s game

The MatchDay Show gets underway at 7.15pm (UK time) with highlights of Monday’s Premier League win over Chelsea, an exclusive interview with Johan Djourou, a look back at the best Arsenal goals of 2010 and all the breaking team news.

With Manchester United dropping points last night this is a great opportunity to gain some ground on Sir Alex and his men.

But, unfortunately, there’s no time to dwell on that win. Tonight sees the Gunners travel to DW Stadium with some ghosts to put to rest after last season. We don’t need reminding what happened back in April.

If anyone doubted Arsenal’s title credentials, that 3-1 win over Chelsea confirmed we ARE going to have a say in the destination of the Premier League trophy come May.

Well, everyone still feeling on top of the world after Monday night? I thought so.

I'm Giuseppe Muro and I’ll be bringing you minute by minute updates of tonight’s game.
